Summary
After The Quiet Fight, the battle was supposed to be over.
Ilya survived cancer. He made it back to the NHL. He finished his first season back on the ice. From the outside, it looks like a victory.
But survival doesn’t mean peace.
This sequel picks up in the aftermath—when the adrenaline fades and the real cost begins to surface. Ilya is fighting a body that still hasn’t fully forgiven him. Shane is fighting a mind shaped by months of fear, hospitals, and the constant threat of loss. And together, they’re fighting each other—trying to love, plan a future, and breathe again while remission looms quietly in the background.
This is a story about what comes after the battle, when Shane and Ilya are learning how to live when they are no longer in crisis—but not free from it either. A story about the tension between gratitude and grief, strength and fragility, love and resentment.
The fight feels louder than ever.

Summary
Ilya knew his husband was beautiful, ethereal, a mystic being who probably appeared once in a century to tempt weak mortal men like him. People may call him whipped or lovesick, and they would be right, but it wasn't without reason; after all, it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.
And Ilya never backed down from a fight, even if the fight involved half of the internet.

Summary
"It should never be said that Ilya liked getting injured. Sure, he loved getting up in his opposition's face and that had meant taking some serious hits over the years, but he hated being taken off the ice for stupid injuries. Injuries meant getting benched and doing tedious, repetitive exercises until the team doctor decided he was healed enough to rejoin the team. They meant his husband was more neurotic than usual, trying to tend to his every need (Ilya didn’t hate that part, but he did hate that it ruined their sex life). They also meant he couldn’t chase Anya around the yard and hold her like a baby. And that wasn’t even the worst part. The worst part of being injured was that he had to sit idly, especially with a concussion, and that meant he had a lot of time to think which never ended well. "
